PDF::Objects::Number

Inherits PDF::Objects::Base < Reference < Object

Represents a PDF numeric object (integer or real).

PDF supports both integer and real (floating-point) numbers. Integers are written without a decimal point. Reals are written with a decimal point and optional sign.

int = PDF::Objects::Number.new(42)
int.to_pdf # => "42"

real = PDF::Objects::Number.new(3.14159)
real.to_pdf # => "3.14159"

negative = PDF::Objects::Number.new(-17.5)
negative.to_pdf # => "-17.5"

Note: PDF reals have limited precision. Very small or very large values may lose precision when serialized.
